PREGNANCY
Pregnancy changes your body, your energy, your priorities and often your relationship with yourself. Pregnancy yoga offers a chance to pause amongst everything else that's going on. Through movement, breathwork, relaxation and mindful awareness, you'll have space to connect with your changing body and prepare for the physical and emotional journey ahead. Whether you're completely new to yoga or have an established practice, planning a physiological birth or medically assisted birth, classes are adapted to meet you where you are and help you find ease in your pregnancy.
A space to move, breathe and connect during pregnancy.

BIRTH PREPARATION
A bespoke workshop with your birth partner
Preparing for birth isn't about creating the perfect birth plan. It's about understanding your options and building a toolkit you can draw on whatever your birth brings.
My birth preparation sessions can include breathing, movement, birth positions, use of a birth ball, massage and comfort measures, as well as practical ways for your birth partner to support you. Working with you and your birth partner or small groups of 4 pairs.

This workshop is for people interested in learning tools, positions and techniques to support their physiology during labour. It is here for partners to also play a key role in supporting an environment that allows for birth to unfold, learn hands on massage and comfort techniques and tools they can use to support and advocate for their partner during labour.
​
These workshops can be done as a pair or in small groups of up to 4 pairs.
